Medium Violet Red — 11-step color scale
Medium Violet Red (#c71585) sits at 500, untouched. Every other step is Medium Violet Red composited over white or black at a decreasing opacity, so the whole ramp stays in one hue family instead of drifting toward another color at the ends.

For text that needs to pass AA on white, 500, 600, 700, 800, 900, 950 clear the 4.5:1 line. On a dark surface, 50, 100, 200, 300, 400 do.
Semantic colors from Medium Violet Red
Success, warning, error and the rest are derived from Medium Violet Red itself, then checked so they stay distinguishable from the base — and from each other — under the three types of color blindness. The distance below is CIEDE2000 after each simulation.
Derived from #c71585
| Suggested | Protanopia | Deuteranopia | Tritanopia |
|---|---|---|---|
| success | 46.9 | 26.8 | 65.7 |
| warning | 42.4 | 33.2 | 16.2 |
| error | 9.8 | 18.4 | 7.7 |
| discovery | 17.5 | 21.3 | 66.1 |
| info | 14.1 | 13.7 | 66.0 |
| neutral | 14.5 | 5.2 | 22.1 |
The neutral suggestion starts out colliding with Medium Violet Red under Deuteranopia — ΔE₀₀ 5.2, below the 11 threshold — so the engine shifts its hue within the neutral family until the pair pulls apart again.
